Panthers sign Mason Marchment to 1-year, reported $800K extension

The Florida Panthers signed forward Mason Marchment to a one-year contract extension, the team announced Monday.

The deal's terms weren't disclosed, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports Marchment will make $800,000.

"Mason has taken full advantage of his opportunity this season, and we are pleased to have signed him to a contract extension," said general manager Bill Zito. "In his first full NHL season, he has proven himself to be a versatile forward who provides our team with a combination of size, skill, and character. We are excited for Mason to take the next step in his career with our organization."

Marchment was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

The 26-year-old joined the Panthers over the offseason after being traded by the Toronto Maple Leafs. He's notched seven points in 22 games in 2021 while averaging over 14 minutes per night.
